October 1
Hey there!
It is cooling off here. We are under 100 most days, and I am loving it. We are excited for the temp change.
Things are going great with Elder Pennington and I. Our investigators
that we can keep in constant contact with are doing great! We had a
church tour with one this past week he loved the church. He is very
excited to get baptized soon. We are working on getting him to church
with his work schedule, but hopefully soon he will come. We are thinking
about how we can get him to get enough sleep to be rested for church
and safe enough to drive. He is a delivery guy. Probably the funniest
one EVER! We laugh with him almost the whole time we are together.
We had a miracle last night. We were able to teach someone we thought
would take months to get to meet. We have an eternigator here in the
ward. She has been wanting to be a member of the church for years! She
has to get married before she can get baptized. She and her Common law
husband have been together for 10 years and have 2 kids. Really can't
talk them into moving into separate homes... definitely not good for the
kids... So we went over to have a lesson with her, and she wasn't home
just yet, but her Husband was outside on the phone! We were in luck! So
she showed up like a minute later and invited us in. Usually the
husband will get off the phone and go straight to the back of the house
and not talk to us at all. So he came in a couple minutes later and sat
down on the couch! That was our first time going together and he came in
and talked to us! We hit it off really well telling jokes and having a
good conversation. We talked to them about getting married and the
blessings that come from being married. We told them that they would be
more blessed by keeping the commandments. We talked to them about
signing the papers so she could get baptized. Then we talked to him
about taking the lessons, and he said he would be interested in meeting
with us some more! We are excited for this family! They are the hardest
to work with and we are making great leaps. We are very excited for
them.
Well, That's about all that is going on.
Thank you for
the updates on everything going on.
I bet Brittany is ready to give birth. hahaha Most
of the women in our ward are prego, well use to be a lot of them gave
birth recently. Babies everywhere
I
can't believe how much the grocery bill has changed since Tyler and I left, over a hundred dollars! I
know we ate a lot. I have had to change a lot on what I buy to make it
through the month. It is not easy having the and other necessities we
need on our budget. We have to really pay attn to what we buy. It will go down again soon when Austin leaves.
I love you. Tell Austin to really prepare
himself to go to the temple. I know I was not totally ready to go. I know that
if he starts to study the temple prep book and really get ready to go he
will love his first time through.
Love,
Elder Marshall
